Senior Requirements Engineer- MBSE

Peraton • Arlington, VA

2d • $135,000 - $216,000

About The Position

Peraton is delivering advanced mission planning, digital engineering, and command-and-control capabilities in support of the U.S. Government’s space communications enterprise. The team applies modern model-based systems engineering (MBSE) practices to turn mission needs into precise, traceable, and verifiable technical requirements across a complex, multi-system environment.

The Senior Requirements Engineer works with system integrators, architects, and MBSE teams to define, refine, and document mission planning and component-level specifications. The role ensures requirements are clear, consistent, and verifiable, and contributes to authoritative digital engineering artifacts that guide system design and implementation.

Requirements

• Minimum of 12 years of experience with a BS/BA, 10 years with an MS/MA, or 7 years with a Ph.D.; an additional four years of relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Must possess at least a Secret clearance, have the ability to upgrade to TS/SCI, and maintain the clearance.
• Experience performing requirements engineering or systems engineering in a complex software or system-of-systems environment.
• Ability to derive, decompose, and document system and component requirements based on mission needs, architecture definitions, or MBSE models.
• Experience reviewing or developing system specifications, interface definitions, or digital engineering artifacts.
• Knowledge of requirements management tools or MBSE modeling environments used to capture requirement behavior, architecture, or traceability.
• Experience supporting verification planning, including creating requirement verification methods, acceptance criteria, or verification artifacts.
• Ability to interpret system models, behavior diagrams, and architecture views to ensure alignment between requirements and system representation.

Nice To Haves

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering, architecture, and integration teams.
• Ability to analyze complex requirements and support disciplined configuration control and traceability.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritize work in a multidisciplinary environment.

Responsibilities

• Provide feedback, clarification, and refinement of the Mission Planning Specification in coordination with the System Integrator and architecture teams.
• Derive component-level specifications from mission-level requirements and behaviors represented in the MBSE model.
• Ensure requirements are captured, traceable, and aligned with system architecture, interfaces, and model behavior.
• Support creation of requirement verification artifacts for mission planning and component-level requirements, including verifiable acceptance criteria.
• Collaborate with MBSE practitioners to validate that system behavior, interfaces, and architectures accurately reflect requirement intent.
• Participate in technical reviews, requirement walkthroughs, and traceability assessments across engineering disciplines.

Benefits

• Heavily subsidized employee benefits coverage for employees and their dependents.
• 25 days of PTO accrued annually, up to a generous PTO cap.
• Eligibility to participate in a bonus plan.
• Medical, dental, vision, life, health savings account, short- and long-term disability, EAP, parental leave, 401(k), paid time off for vacation, and company-paid holidays.
